The FTT-Thiaroye is a technique drawn from the collaborative efforts between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the National Training Center for Fisheries and Aquaculture Technicians (CNFTPA) training institute in Senegal. Its development addresses the need to improve small-scale fish drying and smoking operations. The key to its adoption rests upon its benefits. Globally, the main condition required for the FAO-Thiaroye to be successfully applied is the know-how of its construction, use and maintenance. This technology describes how to use and operate the FTT-Thiaroye.
